Reportlinker.com has released a new market report titled “The German Solar Photovoltaic Market: A New Era Of Competition Dawns.”
Germany, generating around one quarter of the total global solar market, is ranked in second position in the photovoltaic market even though the geographical location of Germany on the world map depicts it as an unsuitable location for solar energy as it receives only moderate levels of solar radiation.
Based on the currently existing economic crisis, uncertainness exists about the level of growth in Germany while an increase is expected in the PV generating capacity. The current capacity expansion at all stages in the German PV value chain is leading to an excess supply in the market. As a result of this abundant supply, it has become a buyer’s market and prices of modules have dropped.
“The German Solar Photovoltaic Market: A New Era Of Competition Dawns” studies the German PV value chain and it provides an in-depth company specific information on the manufacturers of wafers, silicon, modules, cells, CPV-based photovoltaic technologies, CIGS, Poly-Si, CIS, CdTe and a-Si. This report also studies the development of a new competitive era heading toward grid parity as a result of the recent economic changes and political support for the solar PV market.
